Hi, I'm new to this forum, but I've already learnt a lot of things here about windows tricks, tweaks and stuff. I'm trying to create an unattended windows install with a twist. I'm trying out an alternative filesystem hierarchy. It looks something like this: \Programs - This is Program Files \Users - Users' personal files (has subfolders for each user) \SYSTEM - The Windows directory \Files - Users' settings (has subfolders for each user) \Depot - For storing users' files (mainly anything, not restricted) The main idea is to split Documents and Settings into two separate directories. e.g.: C:\Users\darkosiris\Documents or C:\Users\darkosiris\Pictures and: C:\Files\darkosiris\Cookies or C:\Files\darkosiris\AppData I've tried to achive this by messing up the whole registry, without any success. The I've tried to just set %USERPROFILE% to C:\Files and the create symlinks in C:\Users to the folders in Files. None of them works fine. My questions are: 1.) Can I do this by messing with system settings and can I make an unattended install that would set it up for me? 2.) If I choose to use the symlinks alternative, can I make the symlink creation automatic (upon install and new account creation)? Thanks for any help or ideas. darkosiris
